Subject: RE: A Mr. Harding sort of England . . ?
I always assumed that the guys' names were mythical heroes of England

Arthur,as in King
George, as in Saint

and I thought Dave and Daniel referred to deceased statesmen-- but since I'm an American and not very knowedgeable about English history I don't know who the "good guys" and the "bad guys" in British gov history are, this might be more than shaky...

Great thread-- I love all of her songs I've heard, but all second hand via June Tabor. Tried to find her albums when I was over last year but no luck. We have another teaching trip planned for October- in Somerset and Kent-- anyone know of a record shop in those areas where I can find her stuff? (I don't do Amazon/credit cards/etc). What's the best album to get?
